?Gun control? advocates' arrests highlight irony and hypocrisy - National gun rights | ...

Unbelievable af the people defending this guy. If it was a gun rights advocate who made the same mistake, they'd be calling for blood, saying mistakes like this are unacceptable, etc. I hope he gets punished to the full extent of the law that he advocated for.

Nothing as to why this guy had a gun there. I have to admit, I dont get it.

Shouldn't really matter why he was carrying. He's an upstanding person. He has every right to do so. He wasn't (apparently) intent on committing violence against anyone. Defense of his life and the fact he's a citizen ought to be sufficient "need," despite what folks in might-never-issue states might claim.

By the vehemence of the "apologists'" explanations, the liberty-haters are apparently considering having the means of defending yourself to be a good thing ... no matter where you are. As well they should consider such a simple reality. It's only the violent felony types who are a threat, and it's really only possible to identify them when they're blowing sideways or recognized beforehand. All the rest are the good guys, merely seeking to have some means of surviving such "blowing" by the violent felons in our midst.

Though it would suit me fine if he were convicted of a felony. Seeing as he pushed so hard to make it that way.

It'll suit us all best when citizens wake up to smell, the cess pool of what they've unleashed by allowing such people unfettered control over our liberty, our right to defend ourselves, our right to be armed.

There's got to be a better way than such laws, than to string up everyone running afoul of them. Such a path, of course, leads to the disarmament of and failure to trust everyone, leaving the felons to continue going about their law breaking as they have been, leaving a path of destroyed lives and erased (lifetime) liberties for millions. Makes no sense to do it that way. Almost anything else would be an improvement. Say, going back to what we had pre-1960 ... folks arming themselves, taking responsibility for themselves, standing up in defense, and the criminals being the ones punished and remove from our midst. That'd be nice.
